Aaldkfjladkjflakdjfadsf, I'm pretty sure this was my prompt, too, and it's *beautiful*!
(You are spoiling me; I'm ever so grateful.)
There are times she has to sit on her hands to keep from reaching for him.
I love how human and emotional this is.
it’s not a choice she would have made
Hmm, I'm interested now to know what she would have done (ha, maybe she actually says in that S4 episode when she appears as a ghost? I don't even remember because that whole season makes me want to stab the DVDs).
All those years and she’s never seen him look so old. She can barely admit it to herself, but seeing him like that makes her ache.
Aaldfkjdalf, yes, because you loved each other, dammit, even if you couldn't admit it. The idea of Angel/Darla (literally) growing old together is so appealing.
I so like how in character you've kept her. I think it's easy to write Darla OOC because motherly and/or romantic love aren't the norm for her, but you make her feelings completely believable because of the way you've also made clear that she still doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone/thing else in the world. Thank you for this!
